RESEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm winging along - David is trying to get a job, the big girlie (languidangel, i think of you as i write david now) as a blacksmith.

FINE! I know about horses. I know how a horse is shod. so i witter on happily, and then the employer sticks his hand out and says "pleased to meet you , my name is....."

and work comes to a grinding halt!!! have to go and find a 17th Century name. argh!

find one. (people were named very boringly in those days) then off i go again. David gets the job - whoo hoo! and the wages are.....

I DONT KNOW!

so off i go again...... i HATE RESEARCH. The next book i write is going to be about a woman who works in a solicitors, and sits writing on her own night after night and she has two cats. her name is.

ARGH!!!!

Ah, names can be a bitch. I like 'Maud', but that's a woman's name.

Ok, first off, let me say... HA! You think of Noel when you're writing David? I think I'm going to lust after David now. Hope you don't mind terribly. He must be v. v. nice. I must pay him more notice now. *G*

Secondly, I SO hear you on the naming. Nothing else gives me pause the way naming does. Unless it's money. *sigh*

This is why my historical novel has been in progress for ten years already. *sigh*

Her name is Elizabeth Calloway and she is from Glasgow.
Yes.
And you have completely impressed me as a person who is serious about research. This also illustrates why I've never written that novel. Every time the blasted research both overwhelms me and begins to bore me, then I throw up my hands and go write porn.
